conquerman is animated and arms race was going to be. One of the draw backs to those maps is the animation causing headaches but if the animation was set slow enough, say 1 frame for 30 seconds, that would be eliminated.

No, the map will always stay, it will never change.

But lets say you have a map that has 2 different bonus types, you could have both without the need for two boxes. Or a box for bonuses and another for the rules. So it would come up like this.

1. Many people dislike animated images2. When images are uploaded they need to be compressed, so the animation would be lost. This means no compression must be applied = map size must be small.3. Freestyle and speed games need you are quick so a 30 sec animation is not so good

I say to keep all the info displayed all time...it's much better for now.

no problem. keep throwing your thoughts out there, we'll keep stomping on them for you..so instead of animating the legend what about animating part of the theme

at the start of your turn a dust storm swirled away 1 of your troops from the central locations of Dust Bowl.this would happen at the start of everyone's turn, affecting only their territories. in freestyle all territories would be inpacted.

A hover option requires to have 2 images, that is something i like, but it means change the game page structure.In that case it would be easier to change the page totally (ehm ehm left sidebar), maybe make the legend floating and have an hide/show option for it.

I would to think that the real issue is to change the game page; it's not hard but it has a big and wide impact on the users of the site. It is one of those updates that doesn't require a great coding skill, but need a long and thoughtful discussion.

Honestly suggestions like this one have a so big impact on the site that they should be discussed in the suggestion forum properly, they are not a "only mapmakers" thing imo.

Are you talking about a scrolling marquee?

No, but all it means is that if you move your cursor over a certain point on a map, the legend will appear. Whilst this is a nice option, it also goes against one of the points that nobodies made about the flashing legend that all info needs to be displayed at all times.
